A wet carpet due to sunroof leakage does not count as a water-damaged vehicle. Here are the details: 1. Identifying a water-damaged vehicle. Open the trunk and lift the cover to check for water traces in the corners and observe the rust condition of the onboard tools. Water levels below the chassis height do not qualify as water-damaged vehicles since they do not reach the chassis and thus do not cause water ingress inside the car. Water levels rising to submerge the wheels but not exceeding the dashboard classify as a severe level-two water-damaged vehicle. 2. The specific definition of a water-damaged vehicle. The vehicle begins to accumulate water, and internal components suffer damage due to the water. Additionally, water-damaged vehicles have corresponding flood levels. 3. Classification of water-damaged vehicle flood levels. Flood level one: water just reaches the vehicle's chassis. Flood level two: water reaches half the height of the wheels. Flood level three: water almost completely submerges the tires. Flood level four: water reaches the engine hood. Flood level five: water completely submerges the engine hood. Flood level six: water submerges the roof.

Why Does a New Car Have Insufficient Tire Pressure?

New cars may have insufficient tire pressure due to: 1. Damaged valve stems causing air leakage; 2. Gaps between the tire and wheel rim. The impacts of insufficient tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Heavier steering wheel feel and tendency to drift; 3. Increased movement of tire components leading to abnormal heat generation from excessive rolling; 4. Reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage; 5. Excessive friction with the wheel rim resulting in bead area damage; 6. Increased risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving; 7. Larger tire contact area accelerating shoulder wear.

Who should compensate for damage caused by stones from the vehicle ahead?

Who should compensate for damage caused by stones from the vehicle ahead depends on the situation: 1. If the stones fell from the load of the vehicle ahead, the preceding vehicle is responsible for compensation; 2. If the stones were kicked up by the tires of the vehicle ahead, the preceding vehicle is not liable for compensation. When driving, avoid following trucks carrying stones or semi-trailers. On highways, stones flung up at high speeds can shatter windshields, making it hazardous to drive behind such vehicles. While minor dents or paint chips from stone impacts may not be serious, windshield cracks caused by stones require immediate replacement, as driving with a cracked windshield at high speeds is extremely dangerous.
